Dead Sea Mud Mask Ingredients

Ingredients

What is it?

Benefits

Deionized Water

Besides being used as a solvent for active ingredients, deionized water also acts as a spreading agent. So it is an important ingredient and you will see it listed as the first ingredient for virtually every type of cosmetic and personal care products.

Regular tap water contains minute quantities of substances, such as chlorine, sulphates, and various metal ions that could interfere with a product’s stability and performance. This is why we only use deionized water that is free of toxins, pollutants and microbes in our formulation

Unlike tap water, this non-harsh water is gentle on skin and free of sulphates and other pollutants that can strip skin of their natural oils.

Dead Sea Mud

Located between Jordan and Israel, the Dead sea has been evolving for thousands of years to form a rich mud bank containing high concentrations of salts and minerals. It has high concentrations of magnesium, sodium, potassium and calcium as well as clay and nutrients that absorb into our skin and work wonders for our health. The Dead Sea is the world's greatest natural spa and it’s been studied extensively for its health benefits, and has been found to act as a brilliant alternative to traditional medical treatments that you can get over the counter.

Shea Butter

Shea butter has been used in Africa and other countries for years to improve skin and hair.

Sunflower Oil

Sunflower oil is pressed from the seeds of sunflowers. It’s a mixture of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, mostly omega-6s and -9s and has a lot of vitamin E.

Aloe vera has been used for a host of purposes since the ancient Egyptians called it the “plant of immortality." Aloe Vera is a cactus plant whose leaves contain a clear gel that when broken off from the rest of the plant that can be applied topically to heal wounds and soothe skin.

Various studies have been conducted to examine the benefits of the aloe vera plant and it was found out that aloe vera does in fact have several properties that are effective in treating a variety of skin conditions, from flaky or dry skin, cosmetic ailments, hair and scalp problems to many more.

Vegetable Glycerin

Vegetable glycerin is derived from plant seed oils like palm, coconut, or soy and is a natural humectant, which is something my entire bod craves all year round.

The humectant constantly pulls the moisture out of the air and into your skin to hydrate

When used with other natural oils and ingredients, it can seal in moisture on the top layer of our skin while the other oils work their way deep into our cells to provide long-lasting moisture.

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil is a liquid wax extracted from the nut of an indigenous American shrub that goes by the scientific name Simmondsia chinensis. Jojoba oil is unique in that, unlike most other vegetable oils, it closely resembles sebum, a waxy substance produced by our skin glands, so it can act as a natural skin conditioner.

Skin conditioner/moisturizer

Controls oily skin

Acts as an anti-bacterial cleanser that penetrates deep into skin to break down pore blockage and fight acne

Helps repair damaged cuticles, cracked hands and feet

Hickory Bark Extract

Hickory Bark Extract is derived from hickory trees that are native to everywhere from Indochina, India, and China, to the United States, Canada, and Mexico and it acts as a super antioxidant.

Vitamin E

Increases collagen production and improves skin elasticity

Anti-aging

Hydrates

Lightens dark spots

Treats stretch marks

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid is a substance that occurs naturally in the human body. A type of carbohydrate (made up of simple sugars), it binds to water and helps to lubricate eyes, joints, muscles, and yes, skin. That’s why you’ll find it most often in anti-aging and moisturizing products.

Secures moisturize and creates full/youthful skin naturally

Decreases wrinkles

Humectant that absorbs and retains moisture to deeply hydrates skin (a hyaluronic acid molecule can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water!)

Improves firmness and elasticity

Antioxidant defense to fight UV damage

Supports skin healing

P-anisic acid

This ingredient is derived from anise, a flowering plant native to the eastern Mediterranean region and Southwest Asia. P-Anisic acid is found naturally in the plant, and has antiseptic or germ-killing properties. You’ll find it in some natural or organic skin care products instead of potentially toxic preservatives like parabens.

Antiseptic that kills germs and unwanted bacteria to preserve skin and product formula

Xanthan gum

This ingredient is another carbohydrate made through fermentation. Manufacturers use sugar from soy, wheat, dairy, or corn, and add a particular type of bacteria called Xanthomonas campetris. The result is a slimy substance that helps to thicken and emulsify skin care formulas.

Even though it may not sound very appetizing, remember that things like beer, sauerkraut, and other everyday items are made through similar fermentation processes. Foods such as ice cream, baked goods, salad dressings, jams and sauces may also include Xanthan Gum. Those who are gluten-sensitive may want to be careful due to the wheat content , but otherwise, this one is harmless in skin care. In foods, it can cause digestive upset in some sensitive people.

What people are saying about us..

“Wow, this is the best exfoliator I have ever used. I cannot believe how much dead skin I had clogging my pores!! The first time I used it, so much dead skin and dirt came off my face and it was instantly softer and noticeably brighter. Most products do not deliver on their claims but you can trust this one. I like that it is mostly organic and all natural. I have found my new holy grail product!”Lauren (Live Fraiche 24k Gold Green Tea Facial Peeling Gel) - *Results may vary from person to person.

"It has been two weeks since I've started using this product and I absolutely love it. I'm now seeing new hair growth in my lashes and brows. I'm seeing hair in places where I thought my hair would never grow back. I'm so thrilled I can scream. Please take my word and give this product a try, you won't regret it."Jess (Live Fraiche Organic Eyelash and Eyelash Growth Serum) - *Results may vary from person to person.

"This face mask is awesome! My skin looks clearer and feels so hydrated. It went on so ridiculously smooth and evenly unlike other masks I've tried. A little goes a long way and it will last you a very long time. I didn't need to use a lot of the product for it to cover my entire face and the consistency was soft and creamy. The packaging is super cute and the mask left my face smooth and feeling refreshed. Would definitely recommend especially for sensitive skin!”Aliyah (Live Fraiche Dead Sea Mud Mask) - *Results may vary from person to person.

"I can't say enough good things about this product!! I am 47 years old and have been using Latisse for years and I just cannot spend the money anymore ($100 if your lucky) so I tried this off a friends reccomendation and its been awesome so far. I had long thick eyelashes when I was younger but age and thining has caught up to me. But, after using this natural growth serum they are definitley longer. Live Fraiche service seems to be outstanding with follow up emails, I have the feeling I will be taken care of if anything were to go wrong."Lisa (Live Fraiche Organic Eyelash and Eyebrow Growth Serum) - *Results may vary from person to person.
